Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to PLL (phase-locked loop circuit) circuit of built-in voltage control generator, particularly need the PLL circuit of wide vibrating frequency band.
Background technology
Variation along with in recent years mobile communication system, the signal transmitting and receiving of variety of way is carried out in requirement with a mobile communication terminal, but usually, because different mobile communication system has adopted different frequency bands, so require to have the transmitting-receiving number of the sending function of carrying out, promptly so-called multiband radio function with a plurality of frequency bands for this multimode terminal.
The frequency synthesizer that is used for the wireless machine of multiband need generate the local signal of the various frequency bands corresponding with multibandization.For example, the PCS (personal communication service) that the DCS (collective and distributive type control system) of the GSM (global system mobile communication) of employing 900MHz band, employing 1800MHz band, employing 1900MHz are with, the UMTS modes such as (universal mobile telecommunications system) that adopts 2GHz to be with are widely used in the world, and wish to develop the wireless machine of 4 frequency ranges that can use in whole these frequency bands.
When realizing the frequency synthesizer corresponding, need to prepare GSM and send to receive to send to receive to send and receive usefulness/UMTS with, PCS and send and use and each unit synthesizer of UMTS reception usefulness with, PCS with, DCS with, DCS with, GSM with the wireless machine of this 4 frequency ranges.The receive frequency of PCS is roughly consistent because of frequency band with the transmission frequency of UMTS, thus can be by 1 synthesizer dual-purpose, but because of this belongs to special circumstances, thereby to prepare basically and required a plurality of frequency bands unit synthesizer of corresponding number respectively.Therefore, when frequency band number increased, the unit synthesizer increases with it with being directly proportional, and was huge thereby the scale of hardware becomes.
As the method that addresses this is that, can consider to improve the modulation sensitivity of oscillator, and enlarge the method for the variable range of oscillator, but in this case, because the outside of chip and inner noise etc., have the problem that the frequency of local oscillator changes.
In addition, also have the small scale in circuitry of the computing circuit that constitutes by combination frequency divider on 2 unit synthesizers with by the frequency mixer that is used for multiplying to constitute, and generate the formation of quantity more than the signal of a plurality of frequency bands of unit synthesizer.Yet, can not be corresponding with whole compound communication modes, the result has the shortcoming that the quantity of synthesizer increases.
Therefore, proposed to adopt a plurality of voltage-controlled oscillators,, selected the method for voltage-controlled oscillator by external signal according to deserved desirable oscillation frequency with different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
In the method, a plurality of voltage-controlled oscillators have different frequency ranges respectively, although therefore the changeable frequency scope of each voltage-controlled oscillator is narrower, generally speaking form wider frequency.Narrower because of the changeable frequency scope of each voltage-controlled oscillator, get final product so the modulation sensitivity of each voltage-controlled oscillator is little, thereby synthesizer is stably moved.
Figure 10 selects a plurality of voltage-controlled oscillators for expression according to external signal, thus the figure of a configuration example of 4 multiple circuits of generation clock signal.
This conventional example, as shown in figure 10, be 4 multiple circuits that constitute by the PLL circuit, this PLL circuit has: phase comparator 1, charge pump 2, loop filter 3, the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 that constitutes by 4 voltage-controlled oscillators with different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics, select circuit 6, frequency divider 5, N-channel MOS transistor NM5 and resistance R, when the output signal S14 that selects circuit 6 is high potential (H), the NM5 conducting of N-channel MOS transistor and resistance R and MOS transistor NM5 constitute series circuit, the electric current of the output signal S4 of loop filter 3 is left behind thus, thereby the current potential on the electric wire of signal S4 is set to the interior voltage (opening flat 9-214335 communique with reference to the spy) of scope between reference voltage V ref1 described later and the Vref2.
Below, describe for the action of 4 multiple circuits of aforesaid formation.
The output signal S3 of charge pump 2 is input to loop filter 3, in loop filter 3, remove radio-frequency component after, as the control voltage S4 of high voltage control generator group 4 and be input to voltage-controlled oscillator group 4.
In voltage-controlled oscillator group 4, imported signal S10～S13 by selecting circuit 6 to generate, be used for selecting 1 voltage-controlled oscillator from voltage-controlled oscillator group 44 interior voltage-controlled oscillators.The output signal CK3 of voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 by 4 frequency divisions, becomes internal signal CK2 by frequency divider 5.
In this conventional example, when moving with the frequency of the signal CK2 mode consistent, lock, thereby the frequency of the signal CK3 that obtains from voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 becomes 4 times of reference signal CK1 with phase place according to signal CK1.
Figure 11 is the formation block diagram of expression selection circuit 6 shown in Figure 10.
As the output signal S10 that selects circuit 6～when S13 changes, output signal S14 becomes high potential (H) within a certain period of time, thus, the current potential of signal S4 is by according in threshold voltage Vref1 and Vref2 (the form setting in the scope between the Vref1＞Vref2).
In selecting circuit 6, be provided with voltage comparator 418 with threshold voltage Vref1 and voltage comparator 419 with threshold voltage Vref2.In voltage comparator 418, when the voltage of the control signal S4 that imports is lower than threshold voltage Vref1, output signal S15 is configured to high potential (H), and when the voltage of control signal S4 was higher than threshold voltage Vref1, output signal S15 was set to electronegative potential (L).And, in voltage comparator 419, when the voltage of the control signal S4 that imports was lower than threshold voltage Vref2, output signal S16 was configured to high potential (H), and when the voltage of control signal S4 was higher than threshold voltage Vref2, output signal S16 was set to electronegative potential (L).
In addition, also be provided with: NOR door 420, it is set as signal S17 high potential (H) when signal S15, S16 are electronegative potential (L), and sets electronegative potential (L) in other cases for; AND door 421, it is set as signal S18 high potential (H) when signal S15, S16 are high potential (H), and sets electronegative potential (L) in other cases for; 2 counters 422,423 that add; Subtract and calculate device 424, its output count value S19 from counter 422 deducts the output count value S20 of counter 423; With decoder 425, it is according to calculating the count value S21 that device 424 is imported from subtracting, only with the some high potentials (H) that is set in output signal S10～S13.
By having the selection circuit 6 of this operating characteristics, can from 4 voltage-controlled oscillators, select 1 corresponding voltage-controlled oscillator of 4 overtones bands automatically with the frequency of reference signal CK1 with different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
And then, when changing selection modes by selection circuit 6, signal S14 temporarily becomes high potential (H), and the current potential of signal S4 forcibly is set to the value that is higher than threshold voltage Vref1 shown in Figure 12 and is lower than threshold voltage Vref2, therefore the output of NOR door 420 and AND door 421 temporarily returns to electronegative potential (L), thus, can prevent to have the selection mode misoperation of the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 of different control voltage-frequencies of oscillation.
Figure 12 is the voltage of expression and the control signal S4 of the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 shown in Figure 10 performance plot to the frequency of oscillation characteristic.In addition, frequency f 1～f8 has following relation: f1＜f2＜f3＜f4＜f5＜f6＜f7＜f8.
At first, the frequency 4 overtones band fosc that promptly are input to the reference signal CK1 of phase comparator 1 for desirable oscillation frequency are that the situation of f1＜fosc＜f2 describes.
When only locking with characteristic D shown in Figure 12, promptly when the voltage of control signal S4 when the scope between threshold voltage Vref1 and threshold voltage Vref2 does not depart from, the output signal S17 of NOR door 420 and AND door 421, S18 do not become high potential (H), therefore, counter 422,423 is not counted action, selects the state of the output signal S10～S13 of circuit 6 can not change from initial condition.
In addition,, transfer to characteristic B when being transferred to characteristic C shown in Figure 12, and final when locked, carry out following action.
When control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 in characteristic D, the output signal S17 of NOR door 420 becomes high potential (H), the output valve S19 of counter 422 and the output valve S21 that subtracts calculation device 424 add 1, thus, in decoder 425, only there is output signal S13 to switch to the state of electronegative potential (L) from the state of high potential (H), and only there is output signal S12 to switch the state of system high potential (H), thereby is transferred to characteristic C from the state of electronegative potential (L).
When carrying out this switching, signal S14 temporarily becomes high potential (H), and control signal S4 temporarily returns to the voltage of the scope between threshold voltage Vref1 and the threshold voltage Vref2, so the output signal S17 of NOR door 420 becomes electronegative potential (L) from high potential (H).
Even carry out PLL control according to characteristic C like this, also still be lower than the frequency of 4 times of reference signals, and control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 once more because of the frequency of internal signal, select circuit 6 to carry out above-mentioned action repeatedly, be transferred to characteristic B.At this constantly, voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 is the state of the roughly the same frequency of output and reference signal CK1, but because of the phase place of frequency divider 5 does not change at short notice, so phase comparator 1 still moves according to the form of the frequency gets higher that makes internal signal, the result, control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 once more, selects circuit 6 to carry out above-mentioned action repeatedly, is transferred to characteristic A.
Its result, the frequency of voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 becomes higher than reference signal, and the phase place of frequency divider 5 is more leading than reference signal, and thus, control voltage S4 falls to threshold voltage Vref1, is transferred to characteristic B once more by selecting circuit 6.
After this, 2 frequencies become equal, and finally lock with characteristic B.
Yet, as mentioned above, utilization has a plurality of voltage-controlled oscillators of different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics, when selecting voltage-controlled oscillator according to desirable oscillation frequency, although can realize the PLL circuit in broadband, even but select suitable voltage-controlled oscillator, the phase place because of frequency divider does not change at short notice yet, so the output of phase comparator can not followed frequency change fully, the result has the problem that needed the very long time before choosing best oscillator.
Because phase place is the integration of frequency, even so select best oscillator, make the internal signal with frequency identical with reference signal be input to phase comparator, becoming lock-out state until the output of phase comparator also needs certain hour, can not become lock-out state at once.

And then, when changing selection modes by selection circuit 6, signal S14 temporarily becomes high potential (H), the potential setting that makes the output signal S4 of loop filter 3 forcibly is the value that is higher than threshold voltage Vref1 shown in Figure 2 and is lower than threshold voltage Vref2, so the output of voltage comparator 418,419 temporarily reverts to high potential (H).Also by having imported 2 input AND circuit 7 of signal S14 and reference signal, frequency divider 5 resets in the variation certain hour constantly of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator, and thus, the output phase of reference signal and frequency divider 5 is synchronous.Thus, the bigger variation of the frequency that causes because of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator can be by detecting in the phase comparator 1 at short notice, thereby misoperation appears in the selection mode that can prevent to have the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 of different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
As mentioned above, in the semiconductor integrated circuit that comprises voltage-controlled oscillator group with different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics, only the output signal S4 of the loop filter 3 of the misoperation when being used to prevent the switching of voltage-controlled oscillator forced control in the past, but in the manner, also synchronous with reference signal forcibly by the output phase that makes frequency divider 5, can in the extremely short time, select suitable voltage-controlled oscillator.
Fig. 2 is the performance plot of the frequency of oscillation characteristic of the control signal S4 relative voltage of expression voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 shown in Figure 1.In addition, A～D is the control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristic of each 4 oscillators, and frequency f 1～f8 has following relation: f1＜f2＜f3＜f4＜f5＜f6＜f7＜f8.
At first, the frequency f osc that promptly is input to 4 times of the frequencies of reference signal CK1 for desirable oscillation frequency is that the situation of f1＜fosc＜f2 describes.
When only locking with characteristic D shown in Figure 2, promptly when the voltage of control signal S4 when the scope between threshold voltage Vref1 and threshold voltage Vref2 does not depart from, output signal S15, the S16 of voltage comparator 418,419 do not become electronegative potential (L), therefore, counter 426 is not counted action, selects the state of circuit 6 can not change from initial condition.
In addition,, transfer to characteristic B when characteristic D shown in Figure 2 is transferred to characteristic C, and final when locked, carry out following action.
When control voltage S4 surpassed threshold voltage Vref2 in characteristic D, the output signal S16 of voltage comparator 419 became electronegative potential (L) within a certain period of time, and thus, counter 426 adds 1 action.Output according to this counter 426, the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator is transferred to characteristic C from characteristic D, synchronous signal S14 temporarily becomes high potential (H), control signal S4 temporarily returns to the scope between threshold voltage Vrefl and the threshold voltage Vref2, prevents that therefore output signal S16 from becoming electronegative potential (L) after voltage-controlled oscillator switches.
And then, by having imported 2 input AND circuit 7 of signal S14 and reference signal, frequency divider 5 resets in the variation certain hour constantly of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator, therefore, the output phase of reference signal and frequency divider 5 is synchronous, thus, the bigger variation of the frequency that causes because of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator can be by detecting in the phase comparator 1 at short notice, thereby misoperation appears in the selection mode that can prevent to have the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 of different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
Even carry out PLL control like this, also still be lower than the frequency of 4 times of reference signals, and control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 once more, selects circuit 6 to carry out above-mentioned action repeatedly, is transferred to characteristic B because of the frequency of internal signal according to characteristic C.At this constantly, voltage-controlled oscillator is the state of the roughly the same frequency of output and reference signal, but because of the phase place of frequency divider 5 also becomes the value corresponding with it, so back 2 frequencies become equal, and finally locks with characteristic B.
On the contrary, for example, should make desirable oscillation frequency fosc become the frequency of the reference signal CK1 of f1＜fosc＜f2, then for example switch to characteristic B → characteristic C → characteristic D, and finally lock onto characteristic D by switching under the state that is locked in present characteristic B.
(the 2nd execution mode)
Fig. 3 has been suitable for the block diagram of configuration example of 4 multiple circuits of the 2nd execution mode of PLL circuit of the present invention for expression.In addition, in Fig. 3, be marked with same numeral, detailed for the part identical with component part shown in Figure 1.
In the manner shown in Figure 3, added following circuit in the part shown in the 1st execution mode: by the output of resume counter 427,428 storage voltage comparators 418,419, and, change the magnitude of voltage of the output potential of forcing setting loop filter 3 according to this record information.
In the present embodiment, when having changed selection mode according to selection circuit 6, when continuously when forward-backward counter 426 has been imported the signal that adds deduct, the output valve of loop filter 3 the signal consecutive hours that adds be set to be lower than threshold voltage Vref2 near, and subtract calculate the signal consecutive hours then force to be set to be higher than threshold voltage Vref1 near.
Resume counter 427,428 has for example each shift register of 2 formation, and its output is input to each 2 input AND circuit 429,430 and 2 input EXOR circuit 431,432.
When the signal that adds is continuous when importing more than 2 times, 2 of resume counter 427 of adding are output as the identical value of output, therefore the output of AND circuit 429 becomes high potential (H), thus, the output S4 of loop filter 3 be forced to be set to be lower than threshold voltage Vref2 near.
On the other hand, be output as the identical value of output when subtracting when calculating that signal is continuous to be imported more than 2 times, subtract 2 of calculating resume counter 428, so the output of AND circuit 430 becomes high potential (H), thus, the output S4 of loop filter 3 be forced to be set to be higher than threshold voltage Vref1 near.
In addition, calculating signal when the signal and subtracting of adding does not all have continuous when importing more than 2 times, the output of 2 EXOR circuit 431,432 becomes high potential (H), and OR circuit 433 is output as high potential (H) as a result, and the output of loop filter 3 is set to the centre of threshold voltage Vref1 and Vref2.
Thus, even for the covering wide frequency range designs a plurality of selectable oscillators, also can shorten transfer time from the minimum characteristic of frequency to the highest characteristic of frequency.
Also by having imported 2 input AND circuit 7 of signal S14 and reference signal, frequency divider 5 resets in during constantly certain of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator, and thus, the output phase of reference signal and frequency divider 5 is synchronous.Thus, the bigger variation of the frequency that causes because of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator can be by detecting in the phase comparator 1 at short notice, thereby misoperation appears in the selection mode that can prevent to have the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 of different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
As mentioned above, in the semiconductor integrated circuit that comprises 4 voltage-controlled oscillator groups with different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics, misoperation when preventing the switching of voltage-controlled oscillator in the past only forces to be controlled to be 1 value with the output signal S4 of loop filter 3, but in the manner, added the circuit that changes the magnitude of voltage of the output potential of forcing setting loop filter 3 according to the switching record information of voltage-controlled oscillator, and also synchronous with reference signal forcibly by the output phase that makes frequency divider 5, can select suitable voltage-controlled oscillator in the short time at the utmost point.
Fig. 4 is the performance plot of the frequency of oscillation characteristic of the control signal S4 relative voltage of expression voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 shown in Figure 3.In addition, A～D is the control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristic of each 4 oscillators, and frequency f 1～f8 has following relation: f1＜f2＜f3＜f4＜f5＜f6＜f7＜f8.
At first, the frequency 4 overtones band fosc that promptly are input to reference signal CK1 for desirable oscillation frequency are that the situation of f1＜fosc＜f2 describes.
When only locking with characteristic D shown in Figure 4, promptly when the voltage of control signal S4 when the scope between threshold voltage Vref1 and threshold voltage Vref2 does not depart from, output signal S15, the S16 of voltage comparator 418,419 do not become electronegative potential (L), therefore, counter 426 is not counted action, selects the state of circuit 6 can not change from initial condition.
In addition,, transfer to characteristic B, and when finally being locked into characteristic A, carry out following action when characteristic D shown in Figure 4 is transferred to characteristic C.
When control voltage S4 surpassed threshold voltage Vref2 in characteristic D, the output signal S16 of voltage comparator 419 became electronegative potential (L) within a certain period of time, and thus, counter 426 adds 1 counting action.Output according to this counter, the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator is transferred to characteristic C from characteristic D, synchronous signal S14 temporarily becomes high potential (H), control signal S4 temporarily returns to the scope between threshold voltage Vrefl and the threshold voltage Vref2, therefore prevents that output signal S16 from becoming electronegative potential (L) after the switching of voltage-controlled oscillator.
And then, by having imported 2 input AND circuit 7 of signal S14 and reference signal, frequency divider 5 resets in during constantly certain of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator, therefore, the output phase of reference signal and frequency divider 5 is synchronous, thus, the bigger variation of the frequency that causes because of the variation of the selection mode of voltage-controlled oscillator can be by detecting in the phase comparator 1 at short notice, thereby misoperation appears in the selection mode that can prevent to have the voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 of different control voltage-frequency of oscillation characteristics.
Even carry out PLL control according to characteristic C like this, also still be lower than 4 overtones bands of reference signal, and control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 once more because of the frequency of internal signal.At this moment, 2 outputs of resume counter 427 of adding become high potential (H) simultaneously, therefore the output of AND circuit 429 becomes high potential (H), thus, the output S4 of loop filter 3 be forced to be set to be lower than threshold value Vref2 near, and simultaneously, frequency divider 5 also carries out above-mentioned action repeatedly, is transferred to characteristic B.
Even carry out PLL control according to characteristic B like this, also still be lower than 4 overtones bands of reference signal, and control voltage S4 surpasses threshold voltage Vref2 once more because of the frequency of internal signal, select circuit 6 to carry out above-mentioned action repeatedly, be transferred to characteristic A.
At this constantly, voltage-controlled oscillator is the state of the roughly the same frequency of output and reference signal, but because of the phase place of frequency divider 5 also becomes the value corresponding with it, so back 2 frequencies become equal, and finally locks with characteristic A.
On the contrary, for example, switch for the frequency that should make desirable oscillation frequency fosc become the reference signal CK1 of f1＜fosc＜f2 by the state that is locked in present characteristic A, then as shown in Figure 5, for example switch to characteristic A → characteristic B → characteristic C → characteristic D, and finally lock onto characteristic D.
Fig. 5 is the performance plot of the frequency of oscillation characteristic of the control signal S4 relative voltage of expression voltage-controlled oscillator group 4 shown in Figure 3.
In the aforesaid the manner, though be output valve S4 with loop filter 3 be set to threshold voltage Vref1 or threshold voltage Vref2 near, this is very effective for the situation that needs significantly change frequency.During use in identical frequency band etc., carry out inching in 2 amounts of voltage-controlled oscillator with interior frequency range usually and be advisable, but when different frequency band transition etc., frequency need significantly be changed.
